The latest RW email claims arms sales talks will result
in "Obama's gunna take yer guns away!1!1!" I almost choked on lunch when I read this, it is so ridiculous. Here it is:

"Subject: Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms
On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States

On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States . The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.

U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

Please forward this message to others who may be concerned about the direction in which our country is headed.

Silence will lead us to Socialism"

Apparently, when freepers predict that Obams's "gunna take yer guns away" and it doesn't happen, they have to make shit up.

4. Certain names - Soros, Moore, Frank, Pelosi and others have been
repeated so many times on hate radio and the talking heads on TV in such negative ways, that it's become habitual hate for these folks - think of the 2 minutes Hate from Orwell - he wasn't far off

3. My best argument on this shit...
is to ask anybody who believes the government is coming after our guns whether they think it's possible for a country that can't close the borders, or stamp out marijuana, or find Bin Laden to do anything about 250 million unregistered guns.

7. C ould backfire. They could point at some minor safety regulation and say...
"See? Guns HAVE been banned! I won!"

Don't expect to see your grand anytime soon.

8. easily enough blowing that "I won" out of the water ...
when on a different, non-political topic, ask to see the "winner's" gun ... when he shows you the gun, mention that he/she still has it, Obama hasn't confiscated it ...
